Mercier Beats Bevans in Lowball

Level 11 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

2-7 Triple Draw:

Jason Mercier raised from the button and both players in blinds called him — Karim Bevans from the small blind and Stephen Chidwick, who was recently moved to this table, from the big blind.

Bevans drew one, Chidwick two, and Mercier three. Action checked to Mercier, who continued with a bet. Bevans raised, forcing Chidwick out of the pot. Mercier stuck around.

Both players then drew for one card with Mercier praying. "Oh, please," he said before looking at his new card. No bets were made on that street and Bevans and Mercier both drew for one again.

Bevans checked and Mercier announced what he was going to do. "I am only gonna bet if I make something sweet." He did bet and Bevans mumbled something about pairs before throwing his hand into muck.

While raking in the pot, Mercier declared, "I had eight."
